    Do you think SWTOR Free to Play is fair compared to other big time MMORPGs like Tera?

    in General Discussion

    Restriction too hash i mesn u need those credite cree skills and hotbars etc etc. downlaoding rift again now played at launch and its f2p model is way better. Booware think they are gaining customers but most just see whats there and leave or just stay f2p and never sub

    Plus the class system and engine are more robust and not laggy

     

    1. You have no evidence or way of knowing if people see what's there and leave or never sub. That's just another one of your flat out lies. Bioware have confirmed that subs are the vast majority of the playerbase compared to free to play. The game is also making profit as per their last earnings call.

     

    2. I enjoyed RIFT for a short while but it's ultimately quite generic, quite shallow and a lot of it feels borrowed rather than original so the shine and desire to play faded quickly. It is also very very pay to win in their cash shop which is another thing that drove me away.

    Just ask if a subscriber would play this game as Preferred. I will tell you the answer: NO.

     

    Thats the big point here and where EA will lose the war against smartest companies.

     

    Errr excuse me...I'm a sub albeit have spent time as preferred and I thought it was perfectly fine...a couple of minor annoyances but....what do you expect when you are playing for free...

     

    I think the major difference between the gams in the OP is that those other games are happy if you play and never sub as long as you buy trinkets and pay2win items....whereas TOR's freemiummodel aggressively tries to make you sub...and doesn't offer pay2win items in the shop...nothing wrong with that IMO.

    No One Cares About Space Missions

    Likewise, I still play my 5.25" floppy disk games on my old IBM PC XT - at least I did until it died last month. I do it for the same reason I have watch the original trilogy over 1000 times by this point, and read the LOTR trilogy at least once a year (and have done so for almost 20 years).

     

     

     

    And how much total time in the OT was spent in space - you know actually spent flying a ship in space, compared to the time spent inside a space station or on the surface of a planet. I think you would be surprised how little "space" Star Wars actually contains in comparison.

     

    Ep 4: The entire climactic end of the film was set flying ships in space...

    Ep5: Han spent most of the film flying the falcon in space

    Ep6: Again a large portion of the films climax focused on a large space battle

     

    Plus all the other smaller sequences that involved space flight spread throughout the trilogy...

     

    "That's no moon"

    "That's great kid, don't get cocky"

    "Baby, baby hold together"

     

    Etc etc etc

     

    I think you would be surprised how much space time Star Wars actually contains...

    incentive for open world pvp

    Don't play with sharp objects, then.

     

     

    Says the guy calling someone else a "dick."

     

    Irony is dangerous.

     

    Yes that's right...if you report a thief to the police and say that persons a thief and here is the proof....that does not make you a thief just because you correctly identify a thief as a thief and call him a thief.

    Obviously not for you, Mr. I Quit in May (per your sig) But I Still Keep Posting Using a "Friend's" Account.

     

    What kind of kook quits playing a game but keeps ranting on its forums?

     

    I see no rant here...I simply see people discussing ideas for world PvP...

     

    I do see you being a dick to others though :(

    Im not angry im honest if you dont like it thats your problem. If you didnt cherry pick my statemts youd see the ones where i offered ideas for pvp and sins. Once there is something positive to post about i will do so

     

    So go play Firefall and tell us all about your positive experience there, in a game that has so little to do that it doesn't even have PvP....at least SWTOR has a PvP game :)

    Cheating and bots

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I would like to bring everyone to the attention of THIS VIDEO in which clearly shows a player abusing the game using a hack program that is assisted by a "bot".

     

    This player specifically has bee reported numerous times by the OP of this thread...yet almost a month later, this player is still permitted to exploit the game.

     

     

     

     

    Confirmed at least one player.

     

     

     

    Also confirmed. The Bot never attacks players, only NPCs.

     

     

     

    Also confirmed. I am in full Partison PvP gear with one Conqueror Ear Piece on this particular character with almost all pieces Augmented. (Note, there is very little difference between Partison and Conqueror gear.) This particular Bot became very hard to kill, which indicates the bot used to hack, had an AI that activated cool downs at precise times.

     

     

     

    The OP has a point here. All a Dev has to do is log on, and watch the bot in action. This post was made by the OP way back in 9/02/13. It is now 9/24/13. Yet, the player is obviously still using bots and it is obvious the GMs has done little, if anything, to prevent this player from doing it again. It is quite apparent this particular player has a clear and blatant disregard for the EULA.

     

    Has it now become policy for the Devs to ignore reports made against hackers? I notice Gold Farmer companies who consistently spam lowbie worlds for their web sites also go extended periods of time without being removed from the game. I have to question the Devs on this one. You come to the forums and discuss forum moderation...you are instantly suspended from communicating on the forums. Action against your account is almost immediate. Yet a player can hack the game for weeks if not months and nothing is done about it. Devs...what exactly is your policy for the game now? Has your policy changed? When I see things in game like this, it truly makes me question what rules are overlooked if broken and which ones are not. Is it perhaps time to revise the rules and the tolerance levels coincided with those rules? Would sure make my gaming experience less stressful if I knew which rules were not worth my time to stop and report when I see players who abuse and exploit the game. If I knew which reports would be overlooked if not outright ignored, I could move on and not waste my time reporting these Hackers. I do not like wasting time to write out a report, if that report is going to be ignored.

     

    Lol...nice vid :)

     

    Obvious bot is obvious...hopefully a ban is incoming!!

    For the most part, I have to agree with Randle.

     

    The IP is a huge attraction to this game, and it is what had/has me emotionally invested into this game. The problem with PvP is that BioWare just kept taking away and taking away, and its future at the moment doesn't seem so bright. Sure, they're introducing Arenas but they're being executed almost just the same exact way Ranked WZs were. Even though the combat team is mostly for PvP, they have no understanding on how each class and their specs really works because PvP is just going to be full of lolSmashers and Scouperative trolololols.

     

    It just got to the point where more of BW's choices, lack of interaction with the PvP community and overall focus on the system itself "tipped the scale", and the IP just didn't really matter anymore. :(

     

    If you quit again Jurgens I for one will miss your grumpy sense of humour which somehow compliments you forum avatar perfectly...

    Firstly I'd like to thank all those involved in this rewrite for not only their effort but also for listening to the feedback from other posters and being able to find some middle ground in terms of presentation :)

     

    The revised wording and presentation of this open letter is a drastic improvement over the original IMO!!

     

    I've got a couple of errands to run this morning so I will be giving it a thorough read through later...but based on what I've read I will also be completing the polls and signing the petition :)

    Why does this game receive so much hate?

    Vote with your wallet all you want bioware is blind and deaf by choice they already lost half their subs and didnt do much to change course so why think anyone else leaving will get their attention. Ppl left cuz of balance and endgame content. What do they do? Add a space minigame. If that isnt listenig idk what is

     

    Your right, that is what I call listening...

     

    Listening to the literally thousands of players who have been asking for the space game to be improved since launch.

     

    In other news...Sins are fine.

    I for one welcome the SSSP.

    When I first started playing this game one of the things this game did right was the space combat. I was always a big fan of the Star Fox series and let's face it, Who doesn't wanna shout "Pew Pew Pew" while firing lasers?

     

    So Thank you Bioware for taking one of your good concepts you have in-game and expanding on it to add something refreshing for a change. :D

     

    +1

     

    Do I wish it will be as comprehensive at JTL with PvE, PvP, mining, exploration and cool POIs to find? Of course, but even though I know the scope is likely to be limited in comparison I am very happy that the space game is being expanded on :)

     

    Looking forward to it!!

    So why are some ppl so hung up on something thats too hard with crap rewards and even worse mechanics. I dont get it it almost seems like they are fanboys that love everything bioware does

     

    Maybe because the space game is based on one of the most massively popular 16bit space games that was ever produced which gives people an opportunity to take a break from the grind in order to have some pure and simple fun.

     

    But don't bother replying. I have no desire in reading more, mostly incoherent nonsense from someone that publicly admits they are here to simply troll this game and it's community.
